Very small nice town. The beach is nice and on the right side of the Morro rock (beach side) are smaller rocks where the tide comes in and you can find a lot of little animals living there like starfish. On the left side (bay side) is a trail with a small beach and a rock wall that protects the bay a little from the beach. The water sometimes goes over the wall but I've seen people fishing on it. Its not that safe but it's kinda cool 😋 also if you swim there you might see Sea otters or tiger sharks which I think is the best part. The sharks have really small mouths and their bites don't really hurt so you should worry more about sting Ray's & jellyfish just like any other beach in California . So glad I came for a visit haven't been in years but definitely worth it. On my last day we hiked Black Hill. Which was a pretty easy hike but if your not really into hikes you can park basically at the top too & see the whole city of Morro Bay from the top.
